# create car
#car = canvas.create_rectangle(20, 155, 40, 170, outline='blue', fill='blue')
#car=canvas.create_oval(22,158,30,166, outline='blue', fill='blue')
#car1=canvas.create_oval(922,178,930,186, outline='blue', fill='blue')
#car2=canvas.create_oval(722,188,730,196, outline='yellow', fill='yellow')

car1 = canvas.create_rectangle(20, 155, 40, 170, outline='blue', fill='blue')
# move car


for x in range(200):
    y= x = 5
    
    time.sleep(0.025)
    canvas.move(car1,x,0)
    canvas.update()
    #canvas.event_generate(car)



#start = time.time()
root.mainloop()
light.mainloop()

You can use a variable named something like self.red_light_on. Set it to True when the light changes to red, and False on a change to green or yellow. Then

if not self.red_light_on:
     canvas.move(car1,x,0)
     canvas.update()

i've tried several pieces of code but still it doesn't work. can u please fix it for me? thanks.

can anyone plz fix this problem because am having a similar problem with my codes. looking forward for a reply. thanks in advance..
